Purpose: Reviewing the state of medical retinal knowledge according to the theories of Thomas Kuhn

Methods: We have reviewed the medical literature on various pathologies in retina, comparing them with Thomas Kunh's theories as written in The Structure of Scientific Revolutions.

Results: It seems that in AMD, neovascular forms but also geographic atrophy more recently, and retinal dystrophies reach a state of normal science, while myopia, pachychoroid diseases are in crisis. For vascular retinal disorders, we couldn’t conclude.

Conclusion: Each retina specialty now evolves independently, alternating between normal science and crisis. It seems that the crisis experienced by myopia and pachychoroid specialists can be resolved.
